Mr. A. w. Jones, the county auditor. has
received The following clrctilar from Comp
troll General Stoney, which will be OF gener-
al interest to the taxpayers OF Abbev:lie
"Durlng the recent session of the General
Assembly 1t was openly charged that at the
last period OF listing property for taxation
only fhree auditors In the State required re-
turn of the cotton held by FARMERS and 9th.
Is true, those auditors to whom 1t applies
clearly billed TO carry out the provisions ol
the law, which requires personal property OF
every description t. be returned for taxation
There Is no more reason why cotton or other
crops should be omitted from the returns
than that horses. cattle or other Items Of prop.
erty should be. and the law does not exempt
the ole any more than the other.
"That there may be no fnrther mlsunder'
standing OF this matter, auditors are instruct.
ed that II is their duty, and they are required
TO list for taxation all personal property
owned or controlled on the LIST day OF Janu'
ary, this is to he done whether the party own
ing or controlling the same owes q bt upon
It or not.
HAs the right OF q party to reduce the
amount of his return by the amount OF his
debts does not seem to Ie clearly understood
head of "credits' are included all illegal
debts, claims or demands" in favor Of the
party making the return, whether such de
n1and be payable in money, labor or other
valuable Thing. From such credit, and from
nothing else, may he dedncled the legal debts
claims or demands standing against the party
If there are no debts In his favor the debts
against him cannot be considered, and in nc
case is It permissible to deduct any debt
claim or demand from the value of real estate
or tangible personal property"
The office of the county auditor Will be
open from January 1st to February Goth TO re
ceive returns.
